You've
already begun to look at your own process and bigger
picture issues, as well as the extensive practical information
about the kinds of sustainers which work for you. For some of you,
the chance to take a few moments to look at some basic
definitions of stress may be of help (** on the other hand, if
you're stressed out enough that reading about definitions of stress
would be a huge waste of time for you, feel free to click
on another of the chapter headings above -- remember, you're in
charge). These certainly aren't all of the definitions
out there, but we hope you find them useful.
